  1. Thanks Zaprobo - actually it was your in-character blog that inspired me, so I guess the circle is now complete
  2. This just in! Rhinoxx and Nemesis have stopped their evil ways and are now touring the Rogue Isles with a rock act back by phenomenal stage effects

    Thank you Grandville! Good Night!!!!!

    Don't know if this belongs here - but I was just flicking through my screenshots and this popped up from a fight with the forces of Nemesis. But rather than a fight, this appears to be the closing act of a rock concert
  3. Ah - thank you very much
    That just gave me a new 10-15 fonts to play around with - yipeeee!
  4. What is that font you are using for the headline? I've been looking for something appropriately "comic" like for some time - and that looks just about right.

    Thank you - and on that note I just spotted a few wording errors in the blog postings *pulls out the big eraser*
    It's a good bit of fun really - and it gives me a chance to be creative, which is also nice.
  6. Oh that's good fun - you've got a faithful reader here
    Great stuff, must take some time to cut it all together?
  7. Desiring a bit of writing fun, i've started up an in-character weblog for my primary toon - anyone wanting to keep tabs on his brutish ways are welcome to read along

    A Brutish Mind
  8. Heh - that's good fun - actually I think I came across that mob crowding Eochai last night
  9. The Seventh Cabal would also be happy to take you in - you can take a look at our website and forum, and see if that might be somewhere you would want your MasterMind to hang his coat

    I can be reached via @Rhinoxx on most evenings, and otherwise our chief recruitment officers are: Dark Cobalt (@Dark Cobalt), Horus Priest (@fruity thief) and Crock (@Lord Arcane).

    Either way - good luck with it all
  10. Good idea with a $target bind for announcing - that's in the idea book for the next event

    As for the winning that was a negotiation deal - Kairon and I had different bids for each and we had to do some quick compromising - when 40+ people are waiting, we dont want them to get impatient
  11. Ah well - lots of people seemed to have fun and that was really the whole point for our SG.
    And no - we didnt check for spelling as toon names can be off for a variety of reasons AND this was a costume contest, so names didnt come into consideration.

    Of course you are welcome to disagree with our choices or even the way it was organized or even do your own event where it is done according to your own specific wishes.
    I for one just got a whole slew of entutiastic tells after the event as well as a lot of chatter from the people who showed up telling me that people had fun
  12. Not really anything new there - Positron and Statesman have said severeal times in the last couple of months that rent would be looked into post-I7 - I was hoping for some specifics
  13. Glad to see you back - decidedly one of the community personalities and overall nice guy .... in an evil way of course

    COV is not getting much in I8 tbh

    That was communicated pretty clearly from the start - I think it's about time CoH got some goodies, as it was pretty much left out in the cold for I7.
    AND I say that being a 99% CoV gamer
  15. Did a little here's-your-life for my main toon Rhinoxx based on the idea that a villain might keep a few snapshots of his deeds - 50 levels of pure evil - a little something I call "Rhinoxx - A Life of Crime"

    Link to full-size pic (1600x1200 pixels)
  16. Damn - then we will have to postpone raiding till we can upgrade the plot - there simply isnt room for a vault
  17. Ok then - guess ill have to start doing some tweaking then - there were some rooms that I could not put an Anchor into no matter WHAT i tried - and this was excluding the entrance which I had already figured out couldnt take an anchor.

    And thanks for info - I was a bit puzzled about the need for a vault - which would also mean that we would have to sacrifice base functionality as there is no more room in our current plot size
  18. My SG have begun to look at the whole "friendly raid" thing, and although it could probably be a lot of fun, I havent been able to find out exactly what is needed to be able to partake in a raid against another SG.

    I have heard that:
    * We need to have 8 rooms (some even say they have to be of a certain size).
    * We need to have a Vault
    * We need to have 6 or more Dimensional Anchors
    * We need to have raid teleporters (this makes sense)

    So which is it? Someone have the facts on this?
  19. Rhinoxx - Mutation Brute - SuperStrength/Dark Armor
    Patron: Black Scorpion
  20. Actually my Robotics/Traps MasterMind (who's stuck at level 38 till my Brute hits 50) has been a very rewarding experience in regards to traps.
    Sure you mostly get to use all of your toys when soloing, but I have had some very good experiences while teaming as well.

    During team battles, having the acid mortar firing away draws aggro away from my MM, who can then waltz in during a pile-up fight and set poison traps and trip mines to seriously disrupt enemies - drop caltrops behind the fighting slowing any enemies trying to run away and bogging down Lts and Bosses with web grenades.

    I must say I really like Traps - and I also initially chose it as it fit perfect with the concept for my toon
  21. Oh yeah - perhaps I should mention that most of our player base are around level 25+ - but we are usually willing to LK and take people on missions.

    At any rate, we still need active players - and in particular active players who will also help recruit for the SG [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
  22. Rent is a horrible, horrible idea - my SG is now shelling out around 100k every time, and its really depressing to have worked hard to gather the Prestige only to see a HUGE chunk of it being torn away for rent.

    Also isn't the rent every 14 days? I know Arachnos are villains but that's heavy-handed extortion even for them [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
  23. Seventh Cabal Recruitment Drive
    Seventh Cabal has been in a state of stasis over the summer but we are beginning to gear up again. We have a solid core of members who have been with us from the very start, but we would like more active gamers to join us.

    Gaming events and Base
    We aim to have a SG gaming event to encourage teaming every week, but generally members can always make a call for help as we are a friendly bunch and like to help out.
    Our base is up and running - with some good functionality and it looks pretty good too.
    Pictures of the base can be viewed at this link

    Main Objective
    Our main objective is to make teaming easier and gather a good group of people who just want to have fun playing City of Villains - and of course gather hoards of exp and infamy in the process.
    There is usually a friendly chatter on the SG channel and as we have several veteran players onboard, questions that may arise during gaming can often be answered there.

    SG Website and Forum
    We have a website as well as a dedicated SG forum, where all members are required to register. Here we can share information, discuss builds, ask questions and keep everyone in the loop in regards to the going-ons in the SG.
    And of course there is also plenty of room for plain old-fashioned fun [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
    our website: www.seventh-cabal.dk

    Theme
    The SG base is science/technology oriented if this is an important issue to you, but we have no problem accepting villains of any theme.

    Can I join?
    We are looking for villains around level 15+ to join the SG - but other than that, we accept any level or AT as long as you are an active player who is online frequently [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
    Application to the SG can either be done using our forum, or by sending me a global tell when I am online using @Stomparr.
    Other recruiting officers are: Crock, Horus Priest, Dark Cobalt and Emergency.



    So don't waste any time - join a wretched hive of scum and villainy [img]/uk/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

    v2.5 is out already - see my sig. Version Two of the Guide is due - just a little polish left to do on that as well.

  25. Any updates to the keybinds forthcoming Zaprobo? Now that I7 is here, I need the latest gear from your labs
